WITHOUT A BusTLE 7years-who lives
in a sweet country home fifty miles away.
She knows not the miserieS of u hustle.
She Is stranger to attectation Her
little world is full of love- health, outdoor
play, birds, bees, dogs, horses and brothers
and sisters. Would that somebody would
inaugurate the fashion of letting children
be children.
Dudes are differently attired from
former days, but all are dressed precisely
alike, particularly in the evening. Then
their trousers are Of dark cloth, with u
faint stripe in it, and are loose to flabbi-
ness; their coats are getaways, buttoned
till but u scrap of light scarf appears at
the neck This scarf must contain pin
of some value, but not at all SNOWY. The
collar must be high and have its corners
bent down IN front Patent leather shoes
and a brown Derby finish the costume at
feet and head Sticks they still carry,
very big ones, of course Mark you,
neither dudes nor gentlemen wear gloves
now To speak of. The regulation dude
shoe has Il fiat heel. White waistcoats
are iii order, but they are invisible. In
the daytime the sack coats are buttoned
over them and at night the cutaway.
How to wear II watch is Il problem that
not every lady has solved satisfactorily.
There was II time when the watch was
considered an ornament and its presence
was heialded by great long chains. That
era passed for all but the laggards in
fashion Then came the desire to conceal
the watch entirely. Now, II good form il
to tie II knot of bluck MORE ribbon or vel
vet to the ring OF the watch and then slip
the watch into the corsage, leaving only
the ribbon disclosed, which helps to deco
rate the dIess This allows a watch to
be worn on all occasions.

Mr. Wade conceived the idea Of an over

This was long before the first railroad had
been surveyed lie made the trip himself
to look up the route. The matter was
urged before a meeting Of Western Union

Wade told the directors that he only de-

NEW YORK, Sept. SIT is between the

windows proclaim the nearness of the
autumn. while on the streets are the

pretty the diversified procession is. Here
IL snug cloth suit, there a soft, summary

Anyhow, both the serious and the frivo-

New York children Of the pretentious
class have no real childhood. The little

their play for somebody's admiration, and
when they are dressed like little fashion
plates all the time they soon learn to be
artificial in everything they do and to
have n contempt for any creature less
splendidly attired than they are. Before

mortgages in Dakota,

Banker II. w. Mcdonald before the
Watertown bankers convention: In
1880 Dakota contained 1,150,4l3 acres of
improved Iands. In 1886 this had sin-
creased to $780, 100 acres, an increase of
5,4l0, 1886 acres. The cost of putting this
land ieto o state of cultivation was ct
least 81 an aore--eonsequently the total
value thus added so the lands of She ter
ritory was not less than sal ,64l,440
The character Of the %mortgagor
has much to do with the
strength of the mortgage. 1t in
provnrbial that the most active and
energetic people, usually young men
and women, leave the east re make farms
and homee for themselves iii the new
vest. The immigration is supplemented
by the immigration of the hardy foreign
er. It ia evident that from these two
classes an excellent line Of mortgages
oan be selected. The average amount of
lands mortgaged in western New York Id
proportion TO the whole area of improved
lands in that section. is as great as iii
the case in Dakota. The average amount
of the western New York mortgage is
much larger than the average Dakota
mortgage A farm of l60 acres usually
carries O mortgage debt OF not less than
S. 600 with interest at 5 per cent. The
average mortgage in Dakota IN l60 acres
is $500 at or 10 per cent interest. The

Relheld, May 26th-The mathematic-
ians and philosophers here are discus
sing the possibility of the effect of
8 ormy weather on the pressure of the
a tesian we'll. 1t is claimed by some
tnat in falling weather, and when there
are reports of severe electrical storms
iisom storm oenters, there has been dis
covered @ marked difference in the pres
sure OF the water from the nrtesian wells
at different places along the line
,of the main. The x pres
sure of the we'll Is $50 pounds to the
square inch, and but about one-third of
this force, or fifty five pounds pressure,
is expended for the mains. Those in
terested who have given the we'll a,close
|ssndy ever since the water FIRST flowed,
state emphatically that there is some
hidden power that effects this increased
pressure at suoh intervals as described,
Opinions that the Ructuatlng pres,
sure lie affected by the use of the water
along the main have been efectually
disproysd, and the mathematioians stand
firm in the belief that the power is
conferred in the we'll itself, protesting
doubtless from it's baaIn or source.
There is no diminution in the supply OF
water, the how being strong end the

A Case Of CHAMBERS

IA SaSe VI @lauucf6
Scotland Citizen: Considerable ex-
citement Yves occasioned among owners
OF horses Monday by the report that
several horses in Scotland were affected
with CHAMBERS. One horse belonging to
Chris. Wentz and two owned by O. Entze
were supposed to be affected with the
disease, Mayor Campbell Immediately
ordered o quarantine against the horses
and wired d. AlIoway, territorial veter-
mary surgeon, Of the facts. A reply
was received that an assistant would be
sent to Investigate, and yesterday
DR.. d. e. Collins, Of Kimball,
assistant of DIR. Alloway, arrived and ex.
amined the horses. He pronounced
Wentz's horses to be glandered and
Entze's affected with farcy, o disease
allied to CHAMBERS. Mr.. Wentz consented
to the destruction OF his horse without
an order from the territorial veterinary
and it was taken out and shot last even
ing. The horses of Entze were ordered
%quarantined and a report of their condi-
tion sen to headquarters for
action. This morning DR..
Collins in company with
Marshal Truesdell visited the farms OF
George Meth and Henry Schneider, upon
o report that horses belonging to them
were affected with farcy, and found one
horse upon each place with the disease
pr. Collins ordered the owners not TO
take tie diseased horses from their
places. Farcy is q disease closely allied
to CHAMBERS, contagious and only in ex-
traordinary cases can be cured. DIR
Collins left On the noon train for his

SPARKS AND CHURCH.

The President Disturbed over the
Outcome of his lntuitions.
Washington correspondence st. Paul
Pioneer Press: The violent attacks
made upon Sparks by q dozen of the
foremost democratic papers of Dakota
and Minnesota are said to have conyinc-
ed the president that the old man must
walk the plank. A number of influenti-
al democratic politicians hsve also called
at the White House recently and frank
ly told the president that the Sparks
policy WAS ipjuring the west more than
| ail other causes combined. The presi-
dent was disposed to make a change in
the land office some time ago, but
Lamar preferred to wait. He said
"Sparks is not q bad man at heart end
l can take the sting ont of his rulings
by reversing them," SO things went
along without change. Lamar has done
| we'll and has vastly increased his own
popularity by sitting down on the COM
missioner OF the land Office, but it is
noticed that his action does not
help the president at ALL. Reversals
of Sparks ruling in Individual cases
adds to the fame of the secretary of the
interior, but the general policy is wrong
aud for this wrong the president is held
responsible. An article from the Sioux
Falls Argus wal sent to the president
the other day and he sent it in to Isa-
mont with the request that it be filed
with other complaints against the com.
missioner. Among other things the
Argus says:
Sparks ought to be removed, and that
too before the next democratic convsn-
tion meets. Can't the democratic cen
trail committee take the matter in hand,
lay the facts before the president and
shew him if he wishes to hold the Da-
kota democracy in the next convention
he must remove the man whose miser-
able land policy is undermining the
party here?
Another thing which is worrying tht
president is the trouble which Gov
Church is having in the territory. Eli
expected to have smooth sailing whei
o democratic government was appointed
but hesays he is bounded more thai
ever now. He does not believe the ste
ries that come to him about Gov. Ohurcl
and thinks they are all the result of eny,
and political disappointment, but the.
annoy him nevertheless. 1t is prett.
we'll understood here that every NOV
of a political character which Church ha
made was sanctioned in advance by TIL
, president, and if this is the cause of th
trouble he is willing to assume the res
possibility, but he does not like to hav
his appolntees criticised, and when the.
are With any show of foundation it fret
him q good deal. He said the other do.
in the hearing, though not to yonr COL
respondent:
II Church is not o good man then / or
more deceived than I have ever been i
any person before. But / will trus
HIM, for my intuitions have seldom bee
wrong.
